  • An Investigation of the Effects of Barley Cultivation On
    © COPYRIGHT by Cleo Roberts 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED BREWING SUCCESS: AN INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF BARLEY CULTIVATION ON SMALL HOLDER FARMERS IN EASTERN UGANDA BY Cleo Roberts ABSTRACT As Nile Breweries and Uganda Breweries have begun purchasing barley from Ugandan farmers, they have insisted that their sales support economic development in the country. While these breweries' competition for raw materials has the potential to provide smallholder barley farmers with increased income and access to credit, it may also encourage alcohol consumption and exacerbate environmental degradation. This paper explores whether and in what ways barley farmers in Kapchorwa, Bukwa, and Kween Districts, in eastern Uganda, benefit from selling their produce to Nile Breweries and Uganda Breweries. It pays particular attention to the breweries' intended effects on respondents' incomes, expenditures, and access to credit, as well as the potential unintended consequences of barley production on respondents' alcohol consumption and environmental stewardship. The author relies both on narratives and on econometric analysis to draw conclusions about the effect of breweries' demand for raw materials on domestic small-holders. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Infinite thanks to Peter Redvers-Lee and Kenneth Muhinda, without whose invaluable assistance and guidance this study could not have taken place; to Gavin Van Wijk, who provided access to essential contacts and information; to George Mbogo and Joseph Kalule who facilitated travel to and research in various regions

  • The Sugarcane Carbon Sequestration Potential As a Clean Development Mechanism the Case of Kakira Sugar Estates
    Joint proceedings of the 27th Soil Science Society of East Africa and the 6th African Soil Science Society The sugarcane carbon sequestration potential as a clean development mechanism the case of Kakira Sugar Estates J. Sekajugo [email protected] (+256-782-223004, 701-962739) Abstract Soils, and managed agricultural soils in particular, represent a potentially significant low cost sink for greenhouse gases (GHGs) with multiple potential co-benefits to farm productivity and profitability (Jonathan, Ryan and Jeffrey, 2010). The great majority of agronomists and soil scientists agree that most agricultural soils can store more carbon and even a modest increase in carbon stocks across the large land areas used for agriculture would represent a significant GHG mitigation. Sugarcane accompanied with good farming practices has the potential to sequester considerable amounts of carbon and so contribute to climate change mitigation. However, little has been done to provide relevant information concerning carbon sequestration in crop lands and sugarcane in particular. This research work focuses on finding out the ability of sugarcane to sequester carbon in the soil and involves analyzing four different sugarcane varieties among those grown by Kakira sugar works limited to assess their potential to sequester carbon. It is believed to provide the management of Kakira and other stakeholders the relevant information against which to base decisions for developing CDM projects to mitigate climate change through agriculture. Sugarcane grown in Kakira estates has the potential to sequester carbon between 589.11 to 591.12Tc/ha. Therefore, with proper agronomic practices, carbon sequestration in sugarcane is a potential CDM project. Key words: Carbon sequestration, sugarcane varieties, soil organic carbon, phytoliths, Bulk density.

Giuliano Martiniello 1 Introduction In the last decade, in coincidence with skyrocketing global food prices and escalating large-scale land and agricultural investments in 2007-2008 there has been a resurgence of interest in agricultural commercialization in Africa among governments, donors, development agencies, private sector, civil society and academics. The rise in investor interest in African agriculture seems to be replacing the agro-pessimist trends that characterized the approaches of International Financial Institutions and governments in the years of structural adjustment plans, driven by presumed availability of cheap land and prospects of expanded profitability in a sector that had been seen as traditionally risky by finance capital.

  • Caesar Augustus and the Flight of the Asians-The International Legal Implications of the Asian Expulsion from Uganda During 1972
    JOHN L. BONEE, 1II* Caesar Augustus and the Flight of the Asians-the International Legal Implications of the Asian Expulsion From Uganda During 1972 General Introduction' Uganda is an extremely beautiful nation in central East Africa located on the northern shore of Lake Victoria, the second largest fresh water lake in the world. Her air is sharp and thin because the East African plateau extends across most of her countryside raising it to a altitude of approx- imately 3,500 feet; and hence, her climate is delightfully moderate with midday temperatures rarely climbing above 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Kenya is to the east: the Sudan is to the north; and Zaire is to the west-separated from Uganda by the majestic Ruwenzori Mountains Ptolomy's Mountains of the Moon. The equator runs through the middle of Uganda causing it to have practically no seasonal variation. A sense of timelessness pervades the atmosphere. Plentiful rains enable the rus- ty-colored soil to feed lazy banana trees, flowering mango trees, and exten- sive plantations of tea, coffee, and cotton. When Stanley first came to Uganda as an explorer, he remarked that he surely had discovered the 2 Garden of Eden. One experiences a truly remarkable contrast, however, when he leaves the Uganda countryside and enters one of her towns or cities. Generally, an urban center anywhere in East Africa will have four or five definite and immediately identifiable sections. The most luxurious is the old colonial residential section with its beautiful homes and gardens and stone-white *Senior, Suffolk University Law School, Boston, Mass.; student member.
